From the 1950s to the 1970s, San Francisco-along with many other American cities and strategic areas-was protected by batteries of Nike missiles against a possible attack by Soviet bombers. One of those missile sites, SF-88, has been restored by the National Park Service and is now open for tours. This video presents a history of the Nike missiles as a whole, followed by a tour of the SF-88 site.If you enjoyed this video, please consider checking out my blog, in which I share other history- and technology-related content: www.willylogan.com.For more about the Nike Missile Site and Golden Gate National Recreation Area, please visit www.nps.gov/go... photos and videos from National Archives and Records Administration, National Park Service, Internet Archive, JFK Library, USGS, and Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons.CONUS Nike missile sites and SF-Travis Nike missile sites maps by Bwmoll3 on Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0.Music: “Black Mass” and “Future Glider,” by Brian Bolger.
